Challenge: Delivering training to a growing distributed and mobile workforce was expensive.

Solution: Using Live video in Workplace enables training to take place anywhere, anytime.

“Workplace creates a great communication channel for all and enables creative and innovative ideas among our staff. It harmonizes the entire organization.”

Challenge: An ever-increasing use of Shadow IT was a risk.

Workplace provides Dhipaya with a platform for all employees to securely communicate and collaborate. Teams use groups to share documents and connect with each other. And they use Workplace Chat for instant messaging, phone, and HD video calls.

Deploying Workplace enabled Dhipaya to replace consumer grade messaging tools with a single communication and collaboration platform. Critically, Workplace meets Dhipaya’s security and compliance requirements - Workplace is ISO 27001 and ISO 27018 accredited - and provides administrators and HR team members with effective tools to manage, control access and keep data secure.

Challenge: Lack of employee engagement measurement tools.

Solution: Using Workplace drives employee engagement and Dhipaya culture across all branches.

Dhipaya now uses Workplace to help track and measure the engagement of its employees. Teams use groups to report progress and to collaborate on everyday activities, They use detailed dashboards in Group Insights to provide Dhipaya management with engagement data.

The results have been hugely impressive. Dhipaya has exceeded their goals of 90% adoption and engagement. And in the first 3 months, Dhipaya staff across Thailand have shared almost 400 posts, 2,000 comments and over 10,000 reactions - a clear indicator of ease of adoption and even stronger teamwork across the business.

Challenge: Connecting a distributed workforce was difficult.

Solution: Using Workplace tools is connecting the Dhipaya leadership team with everyone.

The Dhipaya leadership team uses Workplace to communicate company vision, mission, and goals to the entire business. With 95% weekly engagement from the management team, using Workplace has created a new way of working at Dhipaya.

Leaders and managers use groups, posts, Live video and comments for two-way interaction and feedback with everyone. The days of one-way communication channels are over.

Challenge: Rolling out a new company-wide platform is hard, isn't it?

Solution. Engaging the services of a Workplace partner reassured Dhipaya that it isn't...

To ensure a successful launch, Dhipaya employed the services of GoPomelo, a Workplace partner. GoPomelo worked with the Workplace team to build a launch plan enabling company-wide launch in less than 4 weeks.

GoPomelo provided consultancy and training for identity services integration and SSO (single sign on), leadership consulting and change management, including impact analysis, communication, training and transformation labs.

What's next for Workplace?

Dhipaya is now pushing to drive 100% adoption of Workplace. We can't wait to hear how all their employees continue to use Workplace to connect, communicate and make work better.
